Language / difference among jechać, pojechać, and jeździć? [14]

I can understand the difference between "iść & chodzić" and "jechać & jeździć".
The first one is action for only once, second one is the verb for frequency.

But when "pojechać" comes, I am confused!

My teacher said that "pojechać" is the perfect form of "jechać".
I asked her, what's the difference between imperfekt and perfekt in polish language?
She said that perfekt is action for only once, imperfect is more than one time.

all right, but then when should I use pojechać? and when should I use jechać?

My teacher tried to explained to me, but I don't quite understand because she always explained in Polish which makes me more confused.

Could anyone be so kind to explain to me with a more simple way?

Thanks a lot!!

Thanks so much, all of you are very kind.

Then I learned more verbs today, but my teacher still cannot explained to me the difference between Perfekt and Imperfekt.

I know they tried to make me more familiar with Polish language so they explained everything in Polish. But it's just my 60-70th hour (more or less) since I began to learn Polish. I really cannot understand that...

For example, wracać and wrócić. In the very beginning, another teacher said that wrócić is the past tense of wracać. Then in higher level, another teacher said, no, they are different. Then I am really confused.

Another example is, pytać & zapytać, both of them are "to ask", then what's the difference? I mean, in our book, it looks like the Perfekt tense is usually for something "past" already. So I asked my teacher, is it that when we want to express past tense, we should use "the past tense of Perfekt verbs"? But she said no, then explained in Polish again!

after adding something, if the meaning of the verb changes, then it's easy for me to understand, like "wyjechać & przyjechać". But when they have same meaning, then it's really hard for me.

Ps: At the moment I love CHINESE so much because there is only ONE tense, no perfekt/imperfekt, no present/past/future... what a wonderful language! :)

Travel / Best places to go to at night in Warsaw [15]

Thread attached on merging:
night life in Warsaw?

After being a good girl at home for 3 weeks, I just want to go out and have some fun.

But I don't know where to go, can anyone recommend some night clubs or bars with more English-speaking people? 'cos my Polish speaking is still quite bad unfortunately.

One more question is, is there usually entrance charge for night clubs in Warsaw? Is there any ladys night?

Thanks!

Work / Employment Agency in Warsaw [5]

After studying in very intensive Polish course for 3 months, now I know basic Polish and can communicate a little bit when the subject is not too hard. My Polish is at survival level.

However, I really like Poland, and I would like to stay and work here.

(Don't ask me why, I just like being here! Before coming to Poland, the Polish consulate in my home country was very surprised that I am coming to learn Polish and try to get a job here. He thinks it's quite weird for foreigners to like Poland especially i don't have a Polish boyfriend. It seems foreigners come to Poland only when they have a Polish girlfriend or boyfriend...)

Therefore, I would like to know if there is any employment agency in Warsaw. Or any website which has more vacancies for foreigners.

I speak fluent Chinese and English, also basic Polish and German. And I had worked in textile related industry and electronics industry before. If anyone has any jobs for me, pls kindly reply my message.

Thanks!!
